Why are passports still a booklet? Everything is digital now. We don’t need stamps or visas in the passport anymore. It serves no purpose.
whoop my phone just ran out of juice, guess my passport is valid, eh?
I never said it had to be an app or a card in your phone’s wallet, although it’s not a bad idea. Passports have chips now. I just think it doesn’t need to be a booklet anymore.
They still physically staple your visa in there or use stamps to register entry in addition to registering things digitally.
It's probably more to do with being compliant with other countries' systems. The US has passport cards, but they only work with Canada and Mexico. I'm sure that has to do with some agreement we made with them.
